Thank you, Sandra Bullock! This is one of my most favorite speeches. I love her honesty. I love her question at the beginning, “If you could go back and talk to your younger self what would you say?” I definitely relate to #1: Stop worrying so much. I would tell myself to breath! Everything happens for a reason and you are going to be ok. No, really. You are going to be ok.
